This entire space was completely submerged by the fiery light. Scarlet light was everywhere, and there was no place that wasn't filled with flames.
On the Dragon Sparrow Sword, the golden dragon pattern that had been hidden all this time also glowed brightly. Its color was indescribably noble and profound, and it complemented the phoenix pattern.
The most terrifying thing was that this dragon pattern didn't seem to be just a simple decoration. Instead, it seemed to possess its own life force.
An incomparably noble divine dragon spirit projection emerged from the dragon pattern and condensed on the blade of the sword.
In the blink of an eye, the dragon spirit projection had taken shape. It twisted its body and struggled free from the Dragon Sparrow Sword. The gigantic projection was surging with flames.
The divine dragon projection's appearance was so dazzling that it made one's heart tremble.
They knew that this was only a spell technique, but it was still unbelievably lifelike. A terrifying aura permeated the air.
The divine dragon's cold eyes looked askance at the trembling demonic beasts. It opened its mouth and suddenly let out a dragon's roar.
Along with the dragon's roar, invisible ripples appeared in the divine dragon's mouth. The ripples surged out and swept toward the demonic beasts.
Under the cover of the crimson flames, the ripples were very inconspicuous. However, the terrifying fluctuations coming from them, as well as the distorted and illusory space around them, were all indicative of their power.
This was the dragon's breath. It could slay evil and slay demons.
Any demonic beast that came into contact with the dragon's breath had no room to resist. In an instant, they melted and turned into dust. Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi!
The dragon's breath swept past a dozen demonic beasts in a row. Finally, it reached the two-headed golden lion.
In the face of this terrifying fluctuation, the golden lion roared angrily. Its body shone with a golden divine light, and it actually managed to resist the dragon's breath for a short while.
However, it only managed to hold on for a few breaths.
Not long after, the divine light completely disintegrated. Without the protection of the divine light, the dragon's breath recklessly burned the golden lion's body. A huge bloody hole appeared on its abdomen.
In less than a breath's time, the miraculous golden lion's gigantic body crashed to the ground. It lay there motionless, without any signs of life.
The moment the golden lion fell, the divine dragon spirit projection suddenly dissipated. The dragon's breath also disappeared, and the scorching flames slowly dissipated.
This was because the spirit power in Lu Qingshan's body had been completely drained. There was not a single drop left. He could no longer support the dragon's breath.
Everything returned to normal.
However, the Demonic Beasts that were lucky enough to survive looked at Lu Qingshan with eyes full of fear, as if they had seen a ghost.
The four limbs of these demonic beasts trembled.
The fear that came from the bottom of their hearts finally overwhelmed the temptation of the Primordial Soul Pearl and the greed in their hearts.
Rumble.
The Demonic Beasts turned around and fled. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from Lu Qingshan's line of sight.
…
Lu Qingshan originally wanted to use this sword to completely annihilate these Monster Beasts. However, the consumption of the dragon's breath was far beyond his expectations. In a situation where his spiritual power was insufficient, he was unable to achieve his goal.
Unexpectedly, the final result wasn't bad. Although more than half of the demonic beasts survived, they were all scared out of their wits and didn't dare to fight again.
Seeing that the Monster Beasts and birds had dispersed and there were no more living creatures in sight, Lu Qingshan's extreme demonic nature and killing intent were restrained a little.
However, just as Lu Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief, the corpse of the golden-haired lion that was lying motionless on the ground suddenly flashed with an extremely mysterious golden light.
Under the effect of the golden light, the wound on its abdomen was healing at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.
And its two ferocious heads, the one on the left, actually began to rapidly shrink and dry at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the wound of the golden lion had healed as before.
But at the same time, only one of its originally mysterious two heads was left.
The other head had shrunk into a meatball at this time. It was lying on the side, looking like a tumor. It looked extremely ugly.
The eyes of the golden lion suddenly opened, and the lion's eyes revealed a fierce light.
The golden lion that had lost its vitality was strangely resurrected just like that!
Although its aura had weakened a lot because of this, and it had lost a head, which seemed like a heavy price to pay, no matter what, it was an unimaginable miracle to come back from the dead.
This was the bloodline talent of the golden lion as a mutated species.
It had two lion heads, and at the same time, it had two lives. When necessary, it could even use a severed head to come back to life.
This was the most important thing it relied on.
But now, Lu Qingshan had taken its life just like that. This caused its eyes to crack, and it was filled with incomparable resentment.
"You … deserve to die!"
On the remaining head of the golden lion, its eyes were wide open. It glared at Lu Qingshan, full of anger and brutality.
Although its vitality was greatly damaged, it had not left the realm of the Third Stage.
And the aura of the cultivator in front of it had clearly weakened to the extreme.
It was sure that Lu Qingshan was an arrow at the end of its flight and had no ability to resist.
"Stupid, stupid! If you still had strength left, how could you have shown mercy and not killed all the demonic beasts here!" The Golden Lion seemed to be mocking the demonic beasts that had escaped, but it also seemed to be mocking Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan, whose Spiritual Energy was depleted, looked at the restless golden lion. Although he was surprised by its strange talent, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear in his heart.
Then let's fight to the end. I can't ask for more!
Lu Qingshan murmured in his heart.
He felt that in his heart, a blood beast was awakening. It was burning his blood and his heart, making him unable to suppress the urge to fight and kill.
An extremely evil and ruthless aura gradually emerged from Lu Qingshan's body and exploded.
"Whether I still have energy left or not, why don't you try and find out?" Lu Qingshan mocked.
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan extended his left hand and formed a claw with his palm facing the ground.
An indescribable ripple of energy started brewing and flashing around his body.
What was this?
The golden lion, who had already determined that Lu Qingshan was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, felt the emergence of this terrifying power, and all the hair on its body stood on end.
The power of the Mountains and Seas!
This was a divine ability that could be mastered after completing the cultivation of the Return to Ruins Sutra.
This was a strange divine ability that could absorb and devour the power of the Mountains and Seas.
Lu Qingshan had promised the Mountain and Sea Sect Leader that he would not use this divine ability unless absolutely necessary.
He had always kept his promise, even in this life and death crisis.
This was also his final trump card.
The ground beneath Lu Qingshan's feet began to tremble slightly but continuously. A wave of energy rippled out like a ripple.
A few specks of light floated up from the ground.
He started to absorb the power of the earth.
Weng weng weng!
Right at this moment, the Dragon Sparrow Sword suddenly emitted a rapid buzzing sound.
A ball of red light flew out from the Dragon Sparrow Sword, and a lithe and graceful figure appeared before Lu Qingshan.
Qin Yitian pressed down on the hand Lu Qingshan was using to absorb the power of the earth, and the specks of light that had just been suspended in the air fell back into the ground.
Qin Yitian had stopped Lu Qingshan from unleashing his divine ability.
"Don't, Young Master." Qin Yitian shook her head at Lu Qingshan and tried to dissuade him.
"Hmm?" Lu Qingshan's voice was low and hoarse, and his voice was extremely cold and oppressive, sending chills down one's spine.
Qin Yitian was not surprised by Lu Qingshan's cold and detached demeanor.
She reached out a slender hand and placed it on Lu Qingshan's forehead. A cool aura instantly flowed out from Qin Yitian's hand, and Lu Qingshan, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, instantly regained consciousness.
"You can't fight anymore. If you do, you'll enter a demonic state and become a beast that only knows how to kill," Qin Yitian said softly after seeing that Lu Qingshan had regained some of his consciousness.
Just like Tantai Qingrun from before, in the Demon Spirit Graveyard that was filled with baleful aura, as long as one had the intention to kill, the speed at which the baleful aura invaded one's soul would increase exponentially.
In such a short period of time, Lu Qingshan had transformed into a God of Slaughter and slain dozens of demons, and the murderous aura had already infiltrated his consciousness without him even realizing it.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan only needed to look inside himself a little, and he would discover that the human-shaped soul in his sea of consciousness had been completely enveloped by a strange and incomparably evil aura.
Ferocious blood runes appeared on his Divine Soul, making his Divine Soul appear incomparably demonic.
His pupils were also completely different from a human's. Not only were his pupils scarlet, but even the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
Right now, Lu Qingshan didn't seem like a human cultivator. Instead, he seemed more like an evil demon.
Lu Qingshan's eyes finally regained some clarity as he felt the warm aura from Qin Yitian's hand.
After calming down a little and understanding the situation, Lu Qingshan looked warily at the golden-haired lion, who did not dare to attack out of fear and could only watch from the side. He hesitated and said, "But …"
Qin Yitian naturally understood Lu Qingshan's dilemma. "Young Master, you should rest for a while. Leave the rest … to me."
"Huh?" Lu Qingshan was puzzled.
Qin Yitian extended her wrist.
Whoosh!
The Dragon Sparrow Sword instantly flew out of Lu Qingshan's hand and into Qin Yitian's.
"The second ability of a sword spirit is that it can fight on its own."
Qin Yitian's voice sounded in Lu Qingshan's ears.
"You mean, you can fight on your own like a cultivator?" Lu Qingshan was astonished.
He had never heard of weapon spirits being able to fight on their own like a cultivator.
Qin Yitian nodded and explained, "But it's not as miraculous as you think."
"My power comes from the Dragon Sparrow Sword, and the Dragon Sparrow Sword's power depends on its owner.
Therefore, the power I can unleash right now is only that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. "
In other words, she was as powerful as Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan fell silent.
That was one more reason for him to become more powerful.
"Also, my battle techniques don't appear out of thin air. Like a cultivator, I have to learn and master them myself." Qin Yitian chuckled. "But at the same time, my talent also depends on the sword master.
Therefore, because of your exceptional talent in the way of the sword, it's also very easy for me to master my sword techniques.
"During this time, I've also learned a few moves from you. Please enlighten me." Qin Yitian raised her Dragon Sparrow Sword. Waves of flames appeared on her sword, just like how Lu Qingshan wielded his sword.
Qin Yitian's aura changed drastically after wielding her sword.
The gentle and pleasant Qin Yitian who had always been by Lu Qingshan's side was now valiant and heroic. Her eyes were cold and clear, like glass beads.
Whoosh!
Qin Yitian's body suddenly flashed and a powerful force erupted from her body. In the blink of an eye, she had appeared in front of the golden lion.
Her sword techniques were as fast as lightning. Like a tidal wave, she slashed at the golden lion.
The golden lion retreated and raised its claws to defend itself.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew and the sound of collisions rang out.
Qin Yitian's sword was faster and faster than the one before it. Her sword style was exquisite, and Lu Qingshan's heart was pounding.
This was because the sword technique Qin Yitian was using was his own modified version of the Falling Light Sword Technique.
Qin Yitian's mastery of the Falling Light Sword Technique had reached the point of perfection!
Her sword techniques were as fast as the wind. One strike after another, the golden lion panicked.
However, Qin Yitian's power was limited. Although the golden lion was in a sorry state, it did not sustain any injuries. Instead, it was gradually familiarizing itself with Qin Yitian's attacks. It was even beginning to show signs of turning the tables.
The fleeting sword light flashed again.
This time, the golden lion casually swung its claws to parry the attack.
Based on the previous situation, it would be able to parry Qin Yitian's attacks with ease.
However, in the instant that its claws came into contact with the sword projection, a mysterious sword projection suddenly appeared on the Dragon Sparrow Sword. Two powerful energy fluctuations that were far more powerful than any of its previous attacks surged toward it, causing its entire body to go numb.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword knocked aside its claws and continued to slash downward.
A bloody wound appeared on its abdomen.
"Roar!" The golden lion let out a bloodcurdling roar.
It was scared. It was truly scared.
Having already died once, its fear of death had not lessened. Instead, it had grown exponentially.
The woman in front of it was unfathomable. It was also struggling to parry her powerful sword techniques. The most terrifying thing was that it had just sensed a suffocating aura from Lu Qingshan. Although it had only lasted for a brief moment, it was still a source of dread.
Before Qin Yitian could react, the golden lion rolled on the ground. After getting up, it turned around and fled.
Qin Yitian did not pursue the golden lion. Instead, she lamented, "I still haven't mastered it completely. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to escape …"
The sword technique she had just used was Lu Qingshan's secret sword technique, Wind Slayer.
However, Wind Slayer was one of the most difficult secret sword techniques to master. Even though Qin Yitian was as talented as Lu Qingshan, she was still unable to master it completely in a short time.
When Lu Qingshan used the Wind Slasher, there would be two afterimages of the sword style. However, the Wind Slasher that she had just used only had one afterimage.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you in the future." Lu Qingshan came to his senses and smacked his lips.
"That's great." Qin Yitian smiled faintly.
[Sword Spirit]: A sentient sword. The spirit of this sword has reached the heavens.
This information appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind.
Only now did he truly understand what the words "Reaching Heaven's Reach" represented.
